Spies can be important sources of information. In some cases, the PCs themselves will be the spies, infiltrating an enemy network to recover vital intelligence. But sometimes they will have to rely on information obtained by third party NPCs. In that case, you want to make sure you can trust your source. Because whoever heard of a double agent in a work of fiction?

Actually, it's been shown that in many universes, there are actually more double agents than just plain agents. So suspecting your spy allies of being double agents is often a safe bet. Unless of course it's even worse than that.
